LOL Mark Bicknell.

I was just gonna say the same thing Kenny...lol what you had a bad weekend then?lol Mark.

Kenny! what are you going on about mate....lol Mark.

Quality soul music.......it's the future! Mark Bicknell.

Ged, You are not alone believe me mate, more and more of us are feeling like this, i really have no drive,commitment or passion to even leave the house to be honest, it's not that much fun anymore, the music is still the best in the world and that will never change for me but as you pointed out Ged times have infact changed and for the worse, it's so sad that this otherwise pure music is being tarnished, sometimes you have to walk away and bite your bottom lip mate, but to be honest enough is enough, this scene has been a huge part of our lives yet i'm full of anger at many aspects of it, it's based on music, strip it all down and it was there at the scenes inception and it will be there at the end, it's this circus bandwaggon that perpetuates the side of the scene which i hate. Regards - Mark Bicknell. Mark Bicknell.

There you go then so my concerns were justified then. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Shocking news really shocking, another nail in the Northern Soul coffin, this is dirty tricks tatics which beggers belief, makes you feel a little ashamed to be part of a scene that has people within it's ranks that will jump on and crush others, it's a real sad day in my book and just another reason to think why bother? I hope it's not anybody i know because i'll tell them exactly what i think. Regards and support - Mark Bicknell.

I despair John i really do, this seller would seem not to know his stuff, the originals of this are blue/red pattern and not red and black, there were black and white design bootlegs way back and i think it was also repro'd recently, this looks like someone has coloured it in with a red felt pen....lol Mark Bicknell.

There's a manic version on The Magnificent Men Capitol LP the one with 'I Got News' and 'Keep On Climbing' on two great tracks. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Dito with above comments, a so so record and really not a £250.00 tune, have it in the Chicago section of the collection, does grow on you after a few plays but never gonna be a venue monster being more a collectors record. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Looks like i had a good result when i got mine then.....i wondered why the guy i bought it off ain't been in touch recently...oh well nice to have a bargain now and again, my valuation was bottom end i guess, pretty suprised and happy that it's 6/700.....thanks.

It should not matter one bit how many rare records this jerk trades in, personally i'd make a point of shouting from the roof tops and f*** the records, they take the piss and their gradings are totally different to ours, i would question his attitude and challenge his reputation, name and shame spread the word and maybe if your over there on a record trip perhaps look him up and see if he understands the good ole' baseball bat method...well he should it's their national sport ain't it? You should perhaps tell him it don't matter how rare a record is if it's fucked then it ain't worth a light, so what if he sells big titles! how many more bad condition records has he sold on Ebay???? It makes me laugh to think that most American dealers not all but many of them have little or no interest or appreciation of the records they are selling, it's about the 'buck', still i guess they are trying to make up for all the thousands of records we have had off them for pennies over the years and they are never gonna play catch up on that one are they, very bitter screwed up individuals well some of them are not all. I totally dispise Ebay and it's methods. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Situations like this are common with Paypal, they don't want to know, they kept asking me to upgrade my account. glad to say i did not and it's now been cancelled, they claim it to be safe and trouble free yet when something goes wrong they close ranks and have this bugger you hard luck attitude.# Mark Bicknell.

Why is there no support or back-up from paypal or Ebay, i got burned by some dick head and they did nothing i even refused to pay my account for listing records but they issued me with a collections letter, i have not played Ebay since, it's a fucking joke they charge you left,right and sideways yet if something goes wrong they are not interested, Paypal is i thought a safeguard way to pay for records yet because the bloke that ripped me off had no funds in his account they were unable to refund the $80.00. People who f*** about on there should be banned for life from trading again, there have now been so many rip off's on there it sickens me, i'll never go on there again it's a fucking minefield, good luck in getting your money back but don't hold your breath. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

I think you are possibly looking at a very hard original here to locate, it was pressed way back and even they are pretty hard to find, i picked up my copy only about three years ago from a dealer in Sweden for $250.00 which i understand to be bargain basement stuff, you got to be looking at mid hundreds i would think £3/400.00 at least, far harder to find than some of the four figure sum records out there. Originals are deep green with blue script and the boots have black script. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Thinking about it 'Pikeys Dog' i've seen more BDR than MJY out there so i reckon your value could be about right or shall we say somewhere between Chalky's and yours, given a few spins out and about this record would take off i'm sure. Mark Bicknell.

Well thats ok then...just thought the general grammer etc. was pretty basic to say the least and seems a strange way to gain support to this cause when infact it could have been done more direct with an open request as i said. Still people can choose what they do and support this if they wish i guess, i just thought it was interesting and needed to be shared. Mark Bicknell.

Mighty Joe Young is a fantastic record, always rated this, I think Chalky is right with his price guide, however given some turntable action who knows??? Big Daddy Rogers was once a £15.00 record and i agree MJY is very my in that style and is a quality tune. Mark Bicknell.

With the huge amount of internet scams it's best advised not to access links etc. as you could end up in hot water, i simply wanted to bring this to peoples attention, i'm not judging this either way but if there was a genuine fund would not it have been better to openly publish the details on this forum and others? Mark Bicknell.

Check this out, is there no shame in this world or is this genuine? what do you think? thought i needed to bring this to the attention of you all.

Brett, Jamie! 'Whats Wrong With You Babies' get it...lol THEIR OTHER RECORD!!!! I'll get me coat....lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Keep the faith.......bollocks! Mark Bicknell.

If you have the records and yes a wee bit of talent and know how to string a set together then age has sod all to do with it! Breaking into DJ'ing on the scene today is far easier and more open house than it used to be, it was almost a closed shop way back which was bullshit but it happened, believe in your records, believe in yourself and the rest is easy.....well almost. regards - Mark Bicknell.

What's my original KKC issue worth then?????? makes you think what's the point really! Mark Bicknell.

Brett, what i feel about this or other records has nothing to do with what someone else wishes to spend, it's the old chestnut 'a record is only worth what someone wishes to pay for it', personally i never buy records i do not like whatever the value, my point has nothing to do with the record, it's quality or even how rare it might be it's simply more to do with personal taste and again if this record floats the bidders boat then fair play. Mark Bicknell.
